On Tuesday night 2km of the river Iska in Slovenia disappeared and left behind fish on dry ground. The residents are saying that they heard a huge bang in the night. It sounds like they are describing it as a possible earthquake-like sound although there was no tremor. One woman said that it was like a huge detonation, as if something big had crashed onto the ground. People went out of their homes to see what was falling down, only to witness the river being drained.

To make this story even more strange, last week there were devastating floods in Slovenia and this river like all others was flooding land and properties. Could it be that some strange technology is being tested here for flood defence purpose? The official explanation is that due to the karst nature of the terrain the river went underground through this tiny hole (see pictures in link below), but the residents are highly sceptical as they have never witnessed anything like that ever (bearing in mind this river has flooded many times before).

For pictures (language is Slovenian): 24ur.com...

The first part of the official news story (from link above) translates as:

"On Tuesday night the river Iska vanished between the villages of Iska Vas and Strahomer."... (Now here comes the official explanation)... "Slovene Environment Agency statement says that the water is flowing into the underground chamber underneath the water bed. This is the way the river disappears and reappers later down stream.This time this characteristic of the river is stronger because of the damages to the river bed."

Yes, true, also because of floods.There is greatest wetlands habitat in Slovenia.There was found the oldest human made whistle/flute in the world.

There was the original reservation of the White race. 200.000 years ago.There is the main Church of St. Michael Arch-Angel in Slovenia.

Very strange for this to happen 'all at once" The creek that feeds my waterfall does this, after the waterfall, the water goes underground, and does not show back up again, until it joins the bigger creek below. It has always done this though!

Knowing that with HAARP, these things are possible to 'create'...these types of events. I wouldn't put it down to just a 'Natural Geological Event".

There is SOMETHING happening with Mother...just too many stories like this, I know there have been several Lakes that have suddenly 'disappeared' like this the past several years, too.

Pretty simple actually. The river finally erodes into a cavernous area, like in Karst. You can see it here in the USA too.

SINKING CREEK in Virginia does the same thing. The entire waterway dissappears under a large rock and continues flowing in an underground watercourse.

Guaranteed there is big cave under there.

Each time a person stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to embrace the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.

Look at the banks of this supposed 'river'... there really aren't any. No scoured embankments before any vegetation. Instead the 'river bed' of small pebbles just ENDS right where the treeline starts.

It simply doesn't LOOK right to have recently been a flowing river. It looks like a 'dry wash' area in which water might drain under heavy rain or flood conditions, but this is no river in the usual sense of the term.

Unfortunately - since yesterday, I can not access ANY links from GLP. My internet is totally screwed up. Only certain websites open, internet totally messed up here since yesterday.I hope later the link works and I can see the picture. Didn't see anything on the news about that...wonder why.

Smart connecting of the dots - I saw the thread too but I didn't put 2+2 together. This could have something to do with it of course. Sinkholes...now draining lakes same time as EQ's happen there...hmmmmm. Interesting, I'm no scientist, but that must have something to do with it.

I think the story is a lot of hyped up bunk.

Wrong. it was very alive river. I saw it by my own eyes, because I live there near.It's where karst environment start near. With terra rossa.Also the greates wetland place in Slovenia is around there.Also, there was higher water at past floods here in Slovenia.This story is true.

This river even flooded environment at the time of floods last weekend. In only one day - 09/22 - then disapperead completely. From one extreme to the another. Not the very first time, but never completely and with crash like this time. Because of that floods flooded ground of it is so high now. Big cracks in the river bottom is the reason of this event. Environment around near is still more than one meter under the flood waters.
